Steam from MyPurMist is instant so you don’t have to wait. It provides instant fine mist that penetrates deep into your sinuses, nose, and throat for superb relief. This provides direct and maximum humidity where you need it (and nowhere else).

Additionally, MyPurMist has temperature controls that allow you to decide how warm you want your mist to be. The temperature range of MyPurMist is a comfortable 100-115F, which will not burn you even at the highest setting. The best way to see that there is enough steam is to turn on MyPurMist with the mask on and see if the mask clouds up within 2-3 seconds.

How to Use MyPurMist

Using the MyPurMist is very simple: you just add water to the little cup, turn it on, and when the steam starts coming out immediately, you put the mask to your face and breathe it in. It’s very easy.

The cup is pretty tiny – it’s practically a shot glass – but you may be surprised to see how much steam the MyPurMist puts out and for how long.

On one little shot of water, it runs for almost 30 minutes, and then stays on another 10 minutes to clean and dry itself out.

I’ve been doing steam therapy for over a year now, with a number of different products, and the first thing I noticed when I began breathing the steam was how efficient it is. By that I mean, you breathe in and you’re actually able to feel a lot of water vapor going into your lungs.

Interestingly, despite the amount of water, it’s not super hot like you get if you put your face too close to a different model of facial steamer. Reading the manual, I found out this is because it uses something called CVF, or Capillary Force Vaporizer, technology.

MyPurMist vaporizes the water without boiling it, so you don’t have to deal with hot steam burning your face. I will say that the face mask can get a little hot, but not unbearably so.

You can use MyPurMist as often, or as long, as you like since it is 100% natural.

A full water reservoir provides approximately 20-25 minutes of use. One idea is to use MyPurMist for 10-15 minutes just before sleeping for more restful sleep.

For most optimal results the manufacturer recommends using MyPurMist once in the morning and once before bed for 10-15 minutes each.

Try different durations to see what is most optimal for you. Generally speaking using MyPurMist more often will provide you the consistent benefits of humidification.

Getting Started With MyPurMist

For the First Use or After a Long Period of Storage (No water in the reservoir):

After the cycle is done, do not empty the reservoir of the water left over unless you plan to store the device.

For Subsequent Uses:

Pour MyPurFill Demineralized or distilled water till the fill line

Turn on device right away

After the cycle is done, do not empty the reservoir of the water left over unless you plan to store the device

The MyPurMist device has two primary indicators of operation.

Red light:

The steady red light is an indicator for “water out” or when the timer has run a full cycle. However, at times a red light may come prematurely. In such cases the water level may need to be adjusted or the device needs to be reset. The flashing red light means you will have to wait 30 seconds for the unit to come back on (it’s cooling down). This is the top light.

Blue light:

The 4 blue lights are indicators of your selected temperature and that the unit is turned ON.

MyPurFill Demineralized Water

MyPurFill Demineralized Water is available in convenient 12 oz. bottles. MyPurMist uses only 1 oz. of water to generate approximately 25 minutes of very fine soothing steam so the cost of using MyPurFill is less than 10 cents per average daily use.

Distilled water is also appropriate to use in MyPurMist. The manufacturer recommends using either MyPurFill Demineralized or distilled water only.

Using any additives in the water reservoir, any other liquid or water with minerals (e.g. bottled, purified or boiled water) will damage the device and will void the warranty.

MyPurMist ScentPads

You can also purchase MyPurMist ScentPads, which are designed to work with the MyPurMist steam to release soothing aromatic Eucalyptus and fresh Peppermint vapors for non-medicated comfort and a peaceful night’s rest.

Each MyPurMist ScentPad has 8 reservoirs of 100% natural essential oil that are uniquely designed to work with the steam from MyPurMist. 50% Eucalyptus, 50% Peppermint; Double distilled essential oils.

One reservoir may be used multiple times in the course of a day.

Cleaning MyPurMist is Simple

The manufacturer suggests wiping down the outside of the product with a dry cloth before storing for longer periods of time. If the outside of your MyPurMist gets dirty, use a warm damp cloth dipped in soapy water to gently wipe the outside of the unit, but do not submerge the MyPurMist in water.

Be sure to drain all of the water out of your MyPurMist and wait until it has run through the automatic drying cycle before storing. This helps to prevent mold growth on the inside of the unit.

MyPurMist Replacement Masks for Adults and Children

To prevent germs from spreading, wipe masks down with warm soapy water and dry before storing. Everyone that uses MyPurMist have his or her own mask.

Adult and Child MyPurMist Additional/Replacement Masks are available at Amazon.

Final Thoughts
